Nurturing Kids Values in Summer

School's out! With less structured schedules, there's more time for parents to help kids keep growing strong--in spirit and character. Find teachable moments, and don't forget to set a good example.

Be Intentional

The first step is to set aside some time, either with your spouse or alone, to make a list of the values and character qualities you want to pass on to your children this summer. Every day will bring natural opportunities to instill these values--if you are mindful.
